I've got numerous concepts outlined already, but I want to run the ones I think are best through here to avoid wasting time completing ones that are played out or will be poorly received. Summaries below:

1- Lion Sentry: a 2 foot high lion statue. small, dead creatures, and parts of larger creatures, manifest in front of the SCP around sunrise most mornings and fade from existence shortly thereafter. Many of the animals are themselves anomalous, being unknown to earth science or impossible. Researchers report seeing the figure in their dreams and figure out that it is pulling the creatures from the nightmares of humans. An increasing safety concern is the fact that it is now "catching" dangerous objects and parts of objects, including SCP items, requiring reassignment of all personnel with knowledge about keter class objects.

2- camouflage bookend: An ordinary looking bookend that, when touched, clearly does not have the shape it visually appears to. Any attempt to imagine or describe the object's true shape produces a description of a bookend; scanning into a vector mapping program generates an image successfully, but the image is perceived as a bookend by anyone viewing it. A D-class personnel born blind is apparently able to grasp the real object underneath, but quickly gets weird during their interview and isn't very helpful. That D-class vanishes from their quarters shortly after; security cameras seem to skip the second he disappeared, but the footage is complete and uncorrupted…viewers just can't see what happened in it.

3- paper pills: Tiny pieces of paper confiscated from a drug dealer, with words like "euphoria" and "wakefulness" written on them. Consuming the paper creates the written effect in the consumer, even though the paper/ink itself has no unusual properties. Not revolutionary, but I feel like we should have this if we don't already.

4-burnt down factory: the ruined foundation of some kind of factory or garage in the middle of some woods; wildlife in the surrounding area are "missing" limbs, heads, entire halves of their bodies, skin, etc, both visually and when touched—but continue to function just fine and appear to interact normally when trying to eat or climb something. This one would be majorly helped by a picture.

5- Beauty beatles: insects that exist in another dimension but manifest in ours and subsist on aesthetic appeal; they "feed" on humans, animals, and objects, making things steadily uglier as they do. I think the concept of extra-dimensional parasites that slowly make you ugly is kind of creepy, but I also think the idea that you can extract the quality of beauty from something the way you'd remove water from it (for example) would be fun to explore.

I have many more. I figure if even one of these seems good enough to make an article out of, I'm in good shape. I appreciate everyone's feedback!

Wow, Scantron, I've read a lot of your stuff on here. Have to say I'm flattered that you responded to this, especially so positively.

I think I'll start writing up number five, the beauty bugs; numbers 1 and 4 can wait until I have more experience and some kind of photo to work with, respectively.

Number 3 was clearly cooler in my head than on paper.

Number 2, the bookend, is supposed to actually be a statue or idol something so horrible/lovecraftian that the human sensory system just refuses to accept it and replaces it with a normal object—the one d class they could find that's never had sight was able to conceive what it really looks like, since he doesn't visualize the way sighted people do; knowing what it actually depicts, however, caused something to come for him, something that has the same "invisibility" as the object. I think it would be less confusing in SCP form than as an explanation, honestly, but that it would take more than my current level of skill to pull off.

Thanks again! Hopefully I'll have something up on the sandbox in the next few days.

Cool. Be sure to run it by the chat and get feedback from several experienced members before posting. It's not a guarantee that it won't get downvoted and deleted once you post it, but if they can help you get rid of the glaring errors, people in the comments section will be more inclined to give you pointers on how to get the finer points of your writing smoothed out.
